The constitution is generaly straight forward and easy to understand but the power hugry in washington DC like to promote the idea that us citizens have no hope of understanding it and only the lawmakers can correctly interpret it, This coming from people who have no clue that only jobs can save the economy and who think tax and spend will fix anything.

Thanks to our Public Education over the last 70 years most Americans can’t read beyond the 5th grade level and have little to no understanding of how our government should work. So guess we have no problem?

The so-called “right” to an abortion (one of the hallmark issues of the constitution-twisters) – is really a venue into the eventual impostion of euthanasia on us all. If you can legitimize the death of the most helpless and vulnerable of us all at the whim of a mother(a person obviously the eminent person who is responsible for the child’s well-being), then no one is safe. What goes around comes around. We either protect all of human life, or we debase the value of all human life. that conclusion is inescapable.
In contrast to that warped point of view are the actual words of the constitution which is written to protect the rights of our “posterity”. If an unborn, yet living baby in the womb is not “posterity” then nothing is. The unborn are protected by our constitution – no matter what the progressives may rant.

the only honest way to read it is to ask what did the writers mean by what they said: Historical-Literal method. No other method is honest, because it interpolates what the modern day reader desires to hear. Anyone who finds new “rights” in the constitution is not dealing honestly – you better check your watch, ring, wallet after you shake hands with that bunch – and check that they have not targetted you for extinction.

The most important concept of our Constitution is SELF-governance which requires the responsibility of knowing who you vote for & do business with. Participation & self control is necessary to avoiding the need for a tyrant to keep things civilized!

Yes. The correct way is to read the Constitution like we read every other document. Read the words and use a dictionary from the 1700’s to find out what the words meant at the time it was written. Some people want to read the Constitution by changing the meaning of its words to apply to modern times. But, we don’t interpret any other historical document that way.
